Progressive

Scan CCD

The ELURA2 /

ELURA2

incorporate a Progressive Scan CCD image sensor that delivers a significant improvement in performance and image quality. Each and every light gathering pixel on the CCD is used to produce a full frame video image 60 times per second. In contrast, the conventional interlace-type CCD produces only half a full frame, known as a field, in the same amount of time. The Progressive Scan CCD provides a serious advantage to those who desire impeccable clarity of fast moving subjects. The interlace method used on other camcorders combines two field images together, but a time lapse between the fields can cause a disturbing image flicker on the television screen when playback is paused. Recordings of subjects moving at high speed such as athletes, wildlife and even machinery can be viewed on a television with superior resolution. And this CCD type makes it possible to produce

better quality video prints than ever before. Also, realizing people shoot video in a variety of light levels, Canon designed the ELURA2 / ELURA2 to perform exceptionally well in low light too.

RGB Primary

Color Filter

In addition to achieving higher resolution, the ELURA2 / ELURA2's Progressive Scan CCD integrates an RGB Primary Color Filter which separates light passing through the lens into individual red, green and blue color components, similar to professional camcorders. As a result, the ELURA2 / ELURA2 achieve more accurate color reproduction with finer gradations than models using a conventional complementary color filter. The difference is especially noticeable, for instance, in skin tones and scenes with a dominant color such as sunsets, a ski slope or a forest.

High Quality

Shooting in Low

Light Conditions

The ELURA2 / ELURA2 incorporate noise reduction circuitry to deliver superior image quality. By eliminating video noise, which can occur during signal processing, Canon has increased the signal to noise ratio. Your videos will be cleaner overall, free from annoying color noise or graininess when shooting under low light levels.

A Genuine Canon 10x Zoom Lens with 40x Digital Zoom

Expertise from designing and manufacturing 35mm camera and broadcast TV lenses contributed to the development of the ELURA2 / ELURA2's 10x optical zoom lens. It delivers incredibly high definition, outstanding contrast and maximizes the resolution capability of DV. You'll love its ability to transform distant subjects into dramatic close- ups quickly

and

effortlessly. The digital zoom extends the magnification to 40x, revealing details too distant to be seen with just the eye alone.
